Gary Kompothecras’ 30,000 Square Foot Sarasota, FL Mega Mansion

January 26, 2012

Gary Kompothecras is a wealthy chiropractor who also runs 1-800-ASK-GARY, a “medical and lawyer referral service” operating in Florida. He owns this whopping 29,948 square foot Beaux-Arts style mega mansion on Point of Rocks Road on Siesta Key in Sarasota, FL. It was built by Steven Bramley Construction and is valued at at $7.4 million. It boasts 7 bedrooms, bowling alley and a subterranean garage.

Yes! I was just about to write that. Al’s is much nicer in my opinion though.

YES! IT’S A NICE HOUSE I OWN THE STONE COMPANY THAT DID THE STONE QUITE THE CALLENGE THIS WAS. GARY WAS A REAL PLEASURE TO WORK WITH. THE COLUMNS IN THE BACK OF THE HOME WERE SET WITH A CRANE THEIR IN SECTIONS. OH THE FUN THAT WAS!

The architecture practically screams fun, sun, and frivolity! This is exactly what I would want on a sunny beachfront lot: the Bank Of England. Even better, in this case, is that it’s surrounded by condos and what looks like much smaller beach cottages.

Comparable to the stucco mansions in Bridle Path and Beverly Hills, however this has a far nicer location. I love it, no matter how ostentatious it looks!

Like having the entrance on the second level.

Don’t really like the rear elevation

The public walkway is a worry

What is with the ramps? It looks like a toy hot wheels house.

that crazy ass ramp in the front of da damn house that you have to drive up look a hot ass damn mess, that ruined the whole house, i thought it was a nice house till I saw that damn roller coaster/skateboard ramp looking thing in the front of the house, I mean this is a huge house that appears to be made of stone, this had the potential to be a really nice house, who the hell was the genius that thought of putting a damn ramp to drive your car to the front door, I mean if a disabled person is living there or something and they need a ramp to be driven right to the door or something then that’s different, but other than that I don’t get it

I don’t care much abut the house. I do care about the owner. I was his patient when he was a chiroprakter. I never know him under above name.
He called himself “Buttocavoli” and had to close his practise because of a
“drug” insident. In his case, he did not go “down”, he went “up”. How nice.
How people can change……..?????!!!!!! Thats all.

I go to siesta key every year, I just was there this weekend and hung out with Gary, his lawyer and 2 other guys. What a nice group of people. He is a loving husband and 2 of his kids have autism. The ramps are for direct drive up to front door purposes. Elevated for Sarasota gulf front storm surge protection. Hey the ramps aren’t pretty, but function over beauty sometimes is a necessity. And the lawyer set a record for eating 17 lobsters. lol

I have to say, I think it’s an eyesore in such a beautiful location. It shows how cocky he is and how he built his fortune on unfortunate people and their car accidents. Not the type of person I’d want to deal with and I have in the past.

As a lifelong resident of Siesta Key I can tell you this “mansion” ruined a beautiful beach spot that was open to the public and a favorite spot for locals as far back as I can remember(1960s). There is also no longer any parking at access 13 thanks to this giant yellowing box with gaudy columns. Whether you like the style or not, it just doesn’t fit the locale or the neighborhood (look around). Move over quaint charm, make way for the trappings of big-time blood money.
And I don’t know about autism, but I can tell you his kid is a punk braggart litterbug druggie that drives like an idiot maniac through an otherwise quiet neighborhood. PS If you are afraid of hurricanes and storm surge, please build your mansion somewhere else. We did fine before gary and his ilk. a lot better, in fact.

This house is so out of place on the beach. When they were first building it, it had more of a castle look which I guess was so ridiculous even the owner decided against it and changed the whole look of the place mid-construction.

Sure, it’s a great mansion, and Siesta Key residents are no strangers to huge ostentatious houses. But it’s the styling of this house that doesn’t jibe. It looks like someone took a Federal building from D.C. and airlifted it onto Crescent beach.

Now it’s the center attraction on the MTV series ‘Siesta Key’. How in the hell can a chiropractor afford this. I suspect with all the attention of the TV show will bring some unwanted heat to this guy.

Many years ago, I worked for Gary. He was the owner of 1st Health Incorporated and there were several office branches throughout Florida. It was pretty big. I met him about half a dozen times and he was always a really nice person. He did seem to care about his employees.

That helps to explain that he’s not just a chiropractor.

Today his clinics have $70 million to $80 million in annual revenue, according to industry estimates. Kompothecras recently built a 29,948-square-foot, oceanfront mansion on Siesta Key assessed at $7.4 million. He owns an 11-seat private jet and earlier this year purchased Sarasota’s Captiva Beach Resort for $1.83 million.

You seem jealous and bitter? Do you know what he does to earn his income or his back ground?
Do you also call out professional ball players that blow their money on homes and cars they can’t afford or deserve?

Exactly. That income would barely cover the property taxes.

Personal I think the home is ugly and doesn’t belong on a beach but it isn’t my home, my mortgage or my problem.

How many of you think Alex is good looking or would get any girls if he wasn’t from a wealthy family?
Do you think Kelsey would give him the time of day if he was broke? Every girl in that town has slept with him.

Pure money. The dude looks like a gorilla. Without the money none of these people would have anything to do with him.

totally agree with you. If he had no money no chick would ever look at him twice. Daddies money makes anybody very attractive.

I know exactly what he does. It’s called insurance fraud and it’s 100% illegal. The reason he is not in jail is because he’s made so much money committing fraud, he can buy off anyone who tries to sue him or fine him. If you make 100 million dollars a year and someone sues you or fines you $250,000 all you do is settle or pay the fine and keep doing what you’re doing. That’s his business plan.

I have no opinion but being from there I was interested in what MTV was going to do and seeing sites so familiar to me. Just four days ago I went out to Point of Rocks Rd to look at a rental place for a vacation and across the street I saw this colossal mansion and took a pick to show my hubby…having no clue what it was! Then I was down at Aloha Kai checking on a unit we vacation at and randomly asked about the show. The guy said it was that crew and people watching who wrecked the public beach on Memorial Day and people didn’t want it there. I was surprised but understand…who needs that in beautiful Siesta key?!

Today I randomly searched On Demand to see if the show was on and it was, so I decided to take a peek to see what it was about. They showed the house and I thought…wait I think that’s the house I saw and it was! I was shocked and kinda in awe and we will be staying at the place I checked out earlier in that rd right across the street so it will be right there. In a way I wish it wasn’t there because we’d have ocean views but it is and it’s nice to look at from the road. My opinion might change once we’re on the beach because the photo from the beach made it look out of place! We’ll see his weekend.

This ruined my childhood favorite, point of rocks!!!! Ugly, does not fit, never will. Even after all of us old siesta key natives are dead and gone this monstrosity is just that!!! Did anyone even bother to look around, get a sense of this amazing place before creating this untouchable, cold, and lifeless structure. Bad enough when we were no longer allowed to ride our horses as condo’s went up but this was a last straw for me. The only place I can enjoy is going around the seawall and getting this place out of site.
